We usually move cows to pasture Long weekend May{this weekend} Greg went down last night to check fences, make sure gates are closed ect.He came home not too happy,grass isn't growing there,cattle won't be going this weekend for sure!
Another thing thats got me wondering what kind of year we're going to have is..tommorow we have two meterologists{sp} coming to our small town to give a talk on how tell the signs and how to deal with summer storms :???: What the heck is that about???
Looking at the long range summer forecast put out by the Climate Prediction Center is not optimistic

Looks like most of the Northwest (including a big portion of Montana- except the east) ) is being predicted as Above normal temps- Below normal moisture...

June is our big moisture month and can be the make or break month...
Must be some of these speculators looking at the weather reports too-- that and the drought in the winter wheat country (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas etc...) has caused wheat prices to jump--Now if we can get a crop....
Northern Ag radio today said that Montana's Golden Triangle Area (Shelby, Havre, Great Falls) was getting dry and that the winter wheat was starting to suffer.......
Makes you wonder what some of these guys are going to do with these $1500-1600 cows they just bought if the grass don't come.....
